(CTA) is pleased to submit this Statement of Qualifications <br />for your consideration. We are extremely excited about these parks, as we have provided <br />and are currently providing, the exact passive park design services requested in your LOI <br />for other South Florida municipalities including the Cities of Sunrise and Aventura. Our <br />past passive park experience with numerous other municipalities substantiates that the <br />CTA's team is that design consultant. <br /> <br />Based on the scope of services set forth in the Request for Letters of Interest, CTA has a <br />team of professionals perfectly-suited to provide the City with the best possible service <br />that will strive for passive parks that we can all be proud of. This team will emphasize <br />creativity as well as management and scheduling techniques which will result in on-time <br />and within budget, beautiful, passive parks. Douglas Schultz, R.L.A., LEED AP, will serve as <br />Project Manager and the primary point of contact. Mr. Schultz is the project manager on <br />three passive parks for the City of Sunrise, two of which are focused on environmental <br />awareness with the other a more urban oasis. Mr. Schultz's parks and recreational design <br />experience, blended with high-end resort design experience and extensive construction <br />background, will bring a unique and refreshing design aesthetic to these important passive <br />parks. <br /> <br />As listed in the Scope of Services, the consultant will be responsible for the preparation of <br />full-scale conceptual, architectural, design, surveying, civil, utility, landscaping, permit <br />preparation/permitting, specifications and construction documents necessary for the <br />landscaping and irrigation along with concrete paver walks and structural screen walls and <br />fencing along the waterways for two Intracoastal passive parks located on Collins Avenue. <br />We are extremely excited about the immense potential that is inherent in these two sites <br />and would love the opportunity to explore design ideas. <br /> <br />Parks, both passive and active, have been a passion at CTA for the more than 25 years that <br />I have been with Craven Thompson and Associates. Over the years, we have designed <br />parks of all types; from neighborhood pocket parks to regional facilities; from passive <br />interpretive parks to community center pools; from linear greenway paths to dog parks. <br />Even though all of these facilities are varied in nature, they all share the same theme <br />utilizing a primarily native plant palate that requires less water and maintenance without <br />sacrificing design. We strive to design an ever-changing environment which constantly <br />brings a variety of colors and textures to the user. <br /> <br />CRAVEN THOMPSON & ASSOCIATES, INC. <br />ENGINEERING - SURVEYING - LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE - PLANNING <br />
